It seems there might be a slight misunderstanding about how Venmo works. Venmo doesn't have a feature that allows users to directly "edit" a list of "top people" in the way you might edit a contact list or a social media following list. The app's design focuses on facilitating payments between individuals and doesn't curate or display a personalized list of "top people" for editing.
However, it's possible you're thinking about something related to your frequent contacts, your friends list, or perhaps even the public feed of transactions. Let's explore the different aspects of managing your connections and interactions on Venmo in a step-by-step manner.
Understanding Venmo Connections and Privacy
Before we dive into any potential actions, it's crucial to understand how Venmo handles connections and privacy.
- Friends List: This is a list of people you've connected with on Venmo. These connections allow for easier payments and the ability to see each other's public (or friend-only, depending on privacy settings) transactions.
- Recent Contacts: When you make payments to new people, they might appear in a list of recent contacts to streamline future transactions.
- Public Feed: This displays public transactions made by Venmo users. You can't edit who appears here, as it's a general feed.
- Privacy Settings: You have granular control over who can see your transactions (public, friends, or private).
Now, let's address what you might be trying to achieve by "editing top people" on Venmo, breaking it down into potential scenarios.

| How To Edit Top People On Venmo |
Scenario 1: Managing Your Friends List
If you're thinking about the people you're connected with on Venmo, here's how you can manage your friends list:
Step 1: Accessing Your Profile
- Open the Venmo app on your mobile device.
- Look for your profile icon, usually located in the top-left or bottom-right corner of the screen. Tap on it.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Friends List
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
- On your profile page, you should see options like "Friends," "Following," and "Followers." Tap on "Friends." This will display a list of everyone you're currently connected with on Venmo.
Step 3: Removing a Friend (If That's What You Intend)
- Scroll through your friends list to find the person you want to remove.
- Once you've found their name, you might see a few options depending on the app version. Look for:
- Three dots (...) next to their name. Tapping this might reveal a "Remove Friend" option.
- Holding down on their name might bring up a menu with the "Remove Friend" option.
- Tapping on their profile might lead to a button or menu where you can unfollow or remove them as a friend.
- Tap on "Remove Friend" (or the equivalent option).
- A confirmation prompt will likely appear. Confirm that you want to remove this person from your friends list.
Important Note: Removing someone as a friend means you'll no longer automatically see their friend-only transactions, and they won't automatically see yours. You can still send and receive payments from them, but it might require manually searching for their username.
Scenario 2: Dealing with Frequent Contacts
Venmo might display a list of people you frequently interact with to make payments faster. While you can't directly "edit" this list in the sense of reordering or pinning, your interaction patterns will influence who appears there.
Step 1: Understanding How Frequent Contacts Work
- This list is generally algorithmically generated based on the frequency and recency of your transactions with other users.
Step 2: Influencing Your Frequent Contacts (Indirectly)
- To prioritize certain contacts: Make more frequent payments to them. Over time, they are more likely to appear higher in your suggested or frequent contacts list.
- To deprioritize certain contacts: Reduce or stop making payments to them. They will gradually appear lower in the list as you interact with others more frequently.
Key Consideration: There isn't a direct "edit" button for this list. It's a dynamic reflection of your payment activity.
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
Scenario 3: Managing Blocked Users
If you've blocked someone on Venmo, you might be thinking about managing this list.
Step 1: Accessing Your Settings
- Open the Venmo app.
- Go to your profile (as described in Step 1 of Scenario 1).
- Look for a Settings or Privacy option. Tap on it.
Step 2: Finding the Blocked Users List
- Within the settings menu, look for an option related to "Blocked Users," "Blocked Accounts," or similar. Tap on it.
Step 3: Unblocking a User
- You will see a list of users you have blocked.
- Next to each blocked user's name, there should be an "Unblock" option.
- Tap on "Unblock" next to the person you want to unblock.
- A confirmation prompt might appear. Confirm that you want to unblock this user.
Consequence of Unblocking: Once unblocked, the user can potentially find you on Venmo again, and you can interact with them (send/receive payments) as before.

Scenario 4: Adjusting Privacy Settings Related to Friends
While you can't edit who your friends are in a top list, you can control who sees your transactions with them.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Step 1: Navigating to Privacy Settings
- Open the Venmo app.
- Go to your profile.
- Tap on Settings or Privacy.
Step 2: Configuring Transaction Visibility
- Look for options like "Default Privacy Setting" or individual transaction privacy controls.
- You can set the default visibility for your transactions to:
- Public: Anyone on Venmo can see.
- Friends: Only your Venmo friends can see.
- Private: Only you and the recipient/sender can see.
- You can also change the privacy setting for individual past transactions.
Privacy is Paramount: Regularly review your privacy settings to ensure they align with your comfort level.
In Conclusion
While Venmo doesn't offer a direct feature to "edit top people," you can manage your connections through your friends list, indirectly influence your frequent contacts through your payment activity, and manage blocked users. Understanding your privacy settings is also crucial for controlling who sees your interactions on the platform.
